(Phoenix, AZ - June 23, 2010) - With the valley heating up each day as we approach the holidays, this is the year to go way north to camp and celebrate Independence Day in cooler climes at Lyman Lake State Park.
On Saturday, July 3, the State Park and the St. Johns Chamber will host a charity rubber duck race followed by celebatory fireworks. Enjoy the show over the lake with loud booms echoing against canyon walls and lights flashing and reflecting off the lake. Rubber duck races begin around 5 p.m. and the evening's fireworks will start at dark. (Approx. 8:30 p.m.) The fee for the day is $7 per vehicle (up to 6 people) and $1 for each additional person.
Summer days at Lyman Lake State Park are perfect for fishing, water skiing, camping and hiking. There are many other trout fishing lakes in the area as well. The park features 61 camping sites with shade ramadas, picnic tables and grills. There are also four air conditioned camping cabins ($50) and four (16-feet round) yurts ($35) which are booked most weekends throughout the summer, but usually available on weekdays.
If you are driving an RV, thirty-eight sites have electric hook-ups with no reservations required, 14 of which have sewer connections. There are also many primitive camping sites along the lake and the park almost always has room somewhere for campers during weekends in the summer. There are also large restrooms and hot showers which are perfect after a day of playing on the sandy beach.
